Question: What do you call 10,000 lawyers on the bottom of the sea?
Answer: A good start.
We’re finally off to the aforementioned good start. I just mailed a big ‘ol mamajamma of a check to retain my new lawyer, Bob. So far, I’m pretty sure he’s nifty. He was recommended by my original lawyer and I’d hire [...]

Two months later, we’ve finally heard back from our title company. The news ain’t good. I guess it isn’t horrible, either. First, let me back track and catch you up.
Many years ago in a magical land called Washington Heights, our hero (I won’t use the feminine version in case Thom reads this – you know his [...]

More Boxes
Yesterday all the shit we’d had in storage for the past six months was re-delivered to the apartment. I really don’t know if it gets much more depressing than that. I mean, it was one special kind of hell to re-assemble our furniture and unpack all the boxes that never even left the apartment. [...]

Very rarely do I analyze a logo, layout, or writing approach without pondering what Jess’s take would be. I respect her opinions [...]

I can’t believe how much better I feel having made a frickin’ decision already! The dishwasher is humming along and sanitizing the f0ur glasses that didn’t break with all of Lucy’s box toppling. Mt. McCardboard is now more of a mound and we even bought a new vacuum. Holy cow are we getting shit done.

One thing I’ll say for Hoboken, you never know what you’re going to run into on a stroll. Being a sunny Saturday, the parks and piers are wicked packed. Strollers are strolling, runners are running, sun bathers are bathing…all in all just a sunny shiny happy day.
It’s thick and warm out (and I may have been somewhat over aggressive with [...]

I’m sitting on a pastel plaid couch listening to the sea and breathing. The only boxes I can see are those housing board games. Every now and again a Frisbee flies above the top of the dunes and pops into vision. It’s a nice break from the desolate wasteland that is our apartment.
And where’s poor Rocco? [...]

I really don’t even know what to say at this point. I mean, I knew today would suck. Today was the day of packing. Well, technically it’s been the month of packing but today was crunch day. With the closing only two days away and the movers scheduled for 9am on Wednesday, this was the day [...]
